The show goes on.

After a short pause, Li Jun still smiled and said: "Haha... Mr. Dong, I invite you here this time. I have something to discuss with you... This is Director Liu Pengliu,

I believe you all know each other, so I will ask Director Liu to report the specific situation to you first. If you have any questions, we will discuss it later."

Liu Peng stood up and said to Zhou Xianjun and Xiao Yuxuan: "Old Zhou, Yuxuan, this is Dong Wenming, the president of the external relations department of Rubik's Cube Media... This is Ms. Xu Rongxu, Hu Xiaodong's agent. Mr. Dong

, Ms. Xu, I would like to introduce to you, this is Professor Zhou Xianjun from the Shanghai Music Conservatory of Music, and this is Professor Zhou’s student, named Xiao Yuxuan.”

"Mr. Dong, hello!"

"Hello!"

After the simple exchange of greetings, Liu Peng continued: "Mr. Dong, there are two main things I want to communicate with you this time. The first is the drama we are cooperating with... and the second is..."

Mr. Dong from Rubik's Cube Media listened to Liu Peng's story calmly. After Liu Peng finished briefly introducing the content to be communicated, Dong Wenming pressed his plump forehead, and that honest smile appeared on his face again: "Well...

…When we were downstairs just now, Xiao Hu and Xu Rong also briefly mentioned a few words to me. Combined with what you just said, Director Liu, I basically understood the situation... Actually, in my opinion, this

The two points are ultimately the same thing... However, since Director Liu said they are two things, let's treat them as two things for the time being. Let's do it one by one... Let's talk about the second point first.

One thing..."

"Director Liu, the first thing you just said is that you plan to replace all the music-related parts of this drama, including the ending theme, interludes and soundtracks. Can I understand it this way?"

"Yes, you are investors. We cannot make unilateral decisions on such a big move without reporting it to you. There are still minimum rules for doing this." Liu Peng nodded and affirmed.

"Haha... Thank you Director Liu for your respect... In this case, I have three small questions, and I would like to ask Director Liu to answer them!" Dong Wenming first raised three fingers, and then shrank two more, "...

...The first question I am more concerned about is that we all know that the schedule of this drama has been set. It will be promoted offline the day after tomorrow and will be broadcast the day after tomorrow. Is it possible to make such a big move in time?"

"Mr. Dong, let me synchronize our progress and next arrangements with you. At present, the opening song has been recorded, and the ending song is being recorded now. The recording will be completed by the afternoon at the latest... and the series will start broadcasting.

, two episodes are broadcast every day. The first episode will be used in the sixth episode, which is the third day after the broadcast. The other songs will be later. In this way, we can step up the recording work step by step.

It will not delay the broadcasting of the entire drama."

"Oh... As long as there is no problem with the time, I will be most at ease." Dong Wenming nodded, then raised two fingers, "My second question is, after replacing all the songs, especially the interludes and soundtracks, then

There must be many places that need to be re-edited, so it won’t affect the quality of the entire show, right?”

"Mr. Dong, don't worry about this. The editing colleagues on the crew are very experienced. I also keep an eye on the editing work. I can guarantee that after re-editing and scoring, the quality of the entire drama will definitely be improved to a higher level." Liu Peng

He added confidently: "Good music and excellent TV dramas can complement each other!"

Dong Wenming patted his big belly and laughed: "When Director Liu said this, my heart went back to my stomach... Haha... It seems that asking Director Liu to direct this drama was our original choice.

It's very wise..."

"President Dong gave me the award, and we also want to keep improving."

"Hmm... that's a good saying about striving for excellence!" Dong Wenming sat up straight and changed the subject, "Our Rubik's Cube is an investor, and the cost of replacing the music part was just mentioned by Director Liu, which is 300,000... What's next?

The third question, I just want to ask Director Liu to give us a reason to convince us to spend another 300,000!"

Liu Peng was confused for a moment. Why?

What other reasons are needed? I just said it, keep improving!

"Uh... Mr. Dong, as I said just now, changing the music part can improve the quality of the entire drama to another level. I can guarantee this!" Liu Peng patted his chest and said with confidence.

"Director Liu, I am willing to believe your guarantee, but you may have misunderstood me... Let's put it this way, if we change the music part, it means that we have to spend money twice on the music part. We are

The investors are true, but why do we have to spend money twice on music production? The investors are not taken advantage of, right?"

This sounds like a non-question, and Liu Peng doesn't know how to answer it.

"Mr. Dong, the thing is like this. At first, we did entrust a studio to be responsible for the music creation, but the effect was not very satisfactory to me, so I found Professor Zhou from the Shanghai Music Conservatory of Music, and finally this

Classmate Xiao Yuxuan re-created music to better present the plot effect..." Liu Peng swallowed, "Mr. Dong, to tell you the truth, the quality of each of these re-created songs is no less than that one.

"when"......"

"What is the level of "Dang"? Is it very high?" Dong Wenming waved his hand and turned to look around: "Okay... I just assume that the level of each song is really high, and it can really be better as you said.

It's a good plot effect, but that doesn't change the fact that we spent money twice... According to this logic, if there are better songs, we may even have to spend three, four or more times?

Why do we have to invest multiple times in things that can be solved with one investment? Director Liu, I don’t agree with your reason!"

Liu Peng was very embarrassed. He recalled what he had said to Zhou Xianjun and Xiao Yuxuan in the office in the morning, and his face turned red.

"Mr. Dong, you promised when we signed the contract. As the chief director, I can decide all matters related to the work. The purpose of changing the music is to make the quality of the work better... You Rubik's Cube Media, the president of such a large group

Wouldn’t it be one thing beforehand and another thing afterward?”

"Director Liu, don't be so excited... come and have a cigarette..." Dong Wenming said as he let go of the cigarette: "Director Liu, I didn't say I wouldn't agree to it, didn't I? As long as there are reasonable reasons, you can convince me

If you kill me, I’ll have an account with the company, so won’t this matter be settled?”

Li Jun picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. When he put down the teacup, he deliberately drank a little. With a "bang", Li Jun made a careless expression and smiled and spoke to help Liu Peng:

"Mr. Dong, let me tell you, this matter is not that complicated. You pay for this drama and we contribute. Isn't the purpose of this cooperation a win-win situation? Lao Liu mentioned to me the replacement of the music part.

I also agree..."

Li Jun paused for a moment and continued: "Mr. Dong, everyone in our industry has a common problem, that is, when they see good things, they want to put them into their own works. Lao Liu has worked hard during this period. You say he is trying to

What? Don’t you just want to make this show better?”

"In addition, you also know that our unit has been renamed from Magic City TV to Dragon TV. The leaders in the station, including Geng Tai, are very concerned about this drama and want to achieve good results... so Lao Liu has been under pressure recently

It's very big, I hope you can understand..."

"We specifically invited you here today just to clearly communicate our demands to you... In terms of cooperation, doesn't it mean that both parties understand and support each other? Mr. Dong, what do you think?"

Liu Peng could relax a little and cast a grateful look at Li Jun.

Dong Wenming kept tapping his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, and coughed:

"Ahem... As for me personally, I am very grateful to Director Liu and everyone here for their hard work, and I also look forward to the good results of our drama, so that you can have an explanation for the leadership, and I can also have an explanation for the group.

Good explanation..."

"Since the director has mentioned this, I, Fatty Dong, am not an ignorant person... To put it bluntly, our group is considered a big business, and 300,000 yuan is really nothing...

"

"So, Director, Director Liu, I agree to spend another 300,000 yuan to replace all the music..."

"But, after all, I hold the group's job, so I have a small condition: we have to sign a supplementary agreement, and the first broadcast price of each episode will be adjusted to 40,000."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jun slammed the table and blurted out: "This is impossible!"

Liu Peng's face also turned blue and purple.

"Oh... Director, aren't we communicating? Don't be so excited!" Dong Wenming lowered his tone and asked, "Don't refuse in a hurry... How about you think about it again?"

"There's nothing to consider! If you say it's impossible, it's definitely impossible! The leader will never agree!" Li Jun turned his head and didn't bother to look at Dong Wenming.

The initial broadcast price of each episode has increased from 35,000 to 40,000. Doesn’t it mean that the TV station is spending money to buy songs for Rubik’s Cube Media?

You keep saying that Rubik's Cube Media is not being taken advantage of, but it is cooperating with Magic City TV Station?

Besides, this is not just a question of money, but also a question of work ability and work attitude!

…

Xiao Yuxuan didn't speak the whole time, seeing everything: This Fatty Dong is very difficult to deal with!

Empiricism kills!

Who said fat in the brain and intestines is due to fat? It’s also possible that people have hidden a lot of useful information!

Fatty Dong drank tea leisurely. He was not in a hurry anyway, because everyone here knew that if the music was really to be changed, the most important thing was time.

Even if the music fails to be changed in the end, he and Rubik's Cube Media, where he works, have nothing to lose. The worst thing is that everything will return to the original track.

In fact, he doesn't have to worry about the mere 300,000 yuan or the 5,000 yuan increase in the premiere price for each episode, and there is also the risk of offending people.

Does he care about the money? Does Rubik's Cube Media care?

He and the Rubik's Cube Media behind him know one thing very well: when wealth meets power, wealth is the weak side.

They all value cooperation with units within the system like Magic City TV Station.

The purpose of not giving in at this moment is to express an attitude, or to send a signal, to gradually expand the dominance in this kind of cooperation.

Maybe next time we cooperate, we can have more say? Can we get more roles? Can we even get more policy inclinations?

Although I don’t know what the result will be next time, but... at least dare to have ideas!

The first thing happened was a deadlock. Director Liu Peng couldn't control the direction of the script at all.

Fatty Dong wore his trademark honest smile and said unhurriedly: "Director, Director Liu, since we can't reach an agreement on changing the music part for the time being, let's put it aside for now...solve the second thing first.

, that...Xu Rong, you know this matter better, and Xiao Hu has given you full authority to represent him, so just talk to Director Liu directly!"

Not getting the expected results, Liu Peng was very upset and did not hide his emotions, "The second thing is about the copyright of the song "Dang"... Now, he is Xiao Yuxuan, the author of the song. You can contact him directly.

He talks about..."

Xiao Yuxuan originally had a bad impression of Liu Peng after what he said in the morning; but now, looking at Liu Peng again, he felt a little unbearable and even sympathized with him.

Hey, it is indeed not easy for Teacher Liu!
